In a recent press statement dated April 18th, 2024, the Zamfara state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the People's Democratic Party (PDP) led administration of engaging in a witch hunt against its members. The statement highlighted the dismissal of the State Commandant of the State Community Protection Guard, Col. Rabiu Garba Yandoto, for speaking out about the challenges facing the guard during a radio program.
According to the APC, the government's actions demonstrate a disregard for constructive criticism and a tendency to victimize those who raise concerns about governance issues. The dismissal of the commandant, along with the suspension of state lawmakers and intimidation of a prominent Islamic scholar, Sheikh Tukur Sani Jangebe, has raised questions about the government's commitment to democratic principles.
The APC emphasized the failure of the current administration to address pressing issues such as insecurity, despite promising to do so during the election campaign. The party called on the government to focus on fulfilling its campaign promises and urged for an end to the alleged witch hunt against its members.
Yusuf Idris Gusau, the APC Publicity Secretary for Zamfara State, reaffirmed the party's commitment to supporting initiatives that promote peace and development in the state and the nation at large.
